Amy and the Emerald Snake — Callie Barkley

In the twenty-fifth book of the Critter Club series, Amy wonders whether her best friends like her stepsister more than they like her. Plus, they all care for a charming snake at the club!

Amy's stepsister, Chloe, is coming to town! Amy can't wait to take her to the big gemstone exhibit at the museum, but she's even more excited to introduce Chloe to her friends. And when she does, the girls all love Chloe. At first Amy is happy, but then she starts to wonder if her friends like Chlore more than they like her! Even the snake they're taking care of at the club seems friendlier to Chloe! Has the Critter Club found a new member -- or even a replacement?
